Description
Join on us this incredible Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek which will take you over a long distance, uphill and downhill in one of the remotest regions of Nepal, all along offering spectacular views. For 29 days you’ll spend quality time exploring breathtaking landscapes on this transformative journey.
Most hikers who join us are not looking for a long fixed itinerary or a climb to the highest peak in the world but want to venture into a remote, unexplored region. And the trek offers exactly that. It takes you to the base camp of Kanchenjunga (8,586 m), the third-highest mountain in the world in uncharted territory.
You’ll find yourself walking on beautiful trails, through a dense forest of rhododendron, oak and other alpine trees, alongside a river. You’ll visit many monasteries and Gompas on the way and passing via numerous mountain villages, you’ll get a sneak peek into the Tibetan Buddhist culture and the traditions of Rai and Limbu people.
The trek also leads to the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area and here, you’ll be amazed to explore the rich plant and animal life. Also, be prepared to see mighty glaciers like Kanchenjunga and Lhotak on the way.
We’ll begin the journey in Kathmandu and after a day of sightseeing, fly to Biratnagar to start the trek. The following days will take us through Khesewa, Chitre, Ramche, Yalung Ri Base Camp and many more spots until we reach Pang Pema, from where we’ll hike to the base camp. And what an accomplishment it would be!
The north ridge of Pang Pema has a viewpoint that offers spectacular views of the majestic peaks of Kanchenjunga, Wedge, the Twins, and the stunning Tent peak.
This is a medium grade trek ideal for both beginners and seasoned hikers. For most nights, we’ll be camping at a spectacular location under the night stars for a complete mountain experience, so you simply can’t miss it!

What people are saying about Explore-Share
Man
Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!
Maxine
Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.
Valeriya
You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.
Joshua
We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.
Cami
Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
